June 05, 2018About Bob
When Laura gets a call from the hospital telling her that her dad has severe frostbite and could die, Laura is shocked. Not because of the whole frostbite part ... but because her dad is alive. She hasn't seen or talked to him in years and honestly assumed he was long dead.
This is a story about what happens when we realize our parents are, in fact, real people — and that real people mess up and make mistakes.

Lesly is a mother of three and a three-time cancer haver living on borrowed time. All of her treatment options have been exhausted, and the only thing that might save her is a bone marrow transplant ... which she can't afford.
What do you do when you have just two months left to live? When you have a small child, just 6 years old, and your oldest daughter is newly married and a mother herself? How do you say goodbye to your family?
If you're Lesly, you go to Disney World.

Lesly is a mother of three and a three-time cancer haver (there may be a more medical term for that) living on borrowed time. When the treatment you need is out of your reach, what the heck do you do?

The difference between a love story and a military love story is just one word, but that word represents a huge scheduling issue: the military. Matthew and Rose are both in the Air Force, and when they get together, they know they’re signing up for a long-distance romance.
Rose and Matthew are in the middle of their longest time apart yet, and they’ve planned a big Meet The Families road trip for when Matthew gets back from Afghanistan. But when unexpected guests come to visit Rose in the middle of the night, she knows something has gone terribly wrong.

May 15, 2018 The Gold and the Broken Bits
Chris was born with cerebral palsy. Growing up, his parents taught him he can be anything he wants to be. They raised Chris to stay positive — to get on with it no matter what.
But “getting on with it” isn't always so easy when others won't make room for you to be a full person. As Chris gets older and becomes his own person, he learns that his disability means he can’t necessarily be everything he wants to be, do everything he wants to do. He learns that there will always be people in the world who want to limit him. And that really effing sucks.
